VOICED : Cyprus unable to mourn its missing 40 yea

The video discusses the efforts of Greek and Turkish Cypriot scientists working with the Committee for Missing Persons (CMP) to locate and identify the remains of those who disappeared during the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus. The CMP has exhumed around 1000 bodies, identifying half since 2006, but faces challenges due to the aging of witnesses and families. Personal stories, like that of Mario, highlight the emotional impact and the need for closure. The CMP's work is supported by immunity agreements for perpetrators, and the process involves DNA testing to ensure proper identification and burial.
